I.e., the first time our breeding pair tied, I was within feet of them...on purpose, obviously. When they tied, our female tried to take of, causing the male to begin screaming in pain.  I had to this day, still have to physically hold her in place until they separate.
It is also inmportant to know the dates of the ties so that you can estimate the due date and when the female sould be examined, have a sonar done, etc.
Good luck! |
